National competitive tender process for 20 unis/colleges. UNINETT. Common student admin system across Norway.

Spring 2018: 43-55% digital written exams, 100% digital take home exams. Use Wiseflow.

Mix of BYOD. Now including maths, engineering, sciences due to dusplay of equations, formulas, images, calculations etc

All students have power sockets, emergency computers, easir with larger exam rooms. BYOD easier because can require by law that students bring their own device but can’t make requirement for international / exchange students.

Next step – automating appeals.

20,000 digital exams in Wiseflow 2017

Started with midwifery, now biomedical science live in January 2018. Met with all academic staff, have to use by 2019 – when & how up to them – staff submitted details, preferred dates then planned centrally. Using BYOD.

Did demo sessions with 50 students, lecturer and TEL team. Students tried lockdown browser before these demos. Qs incl what happens if lose wifi etc

Efficiency savings. Driven by national finance law change and directive from Ministry of Education and Research. Increased demand for e assessment.

Savings increase in assignment submission, staff not a reduction but freed up academic time, some tasks handled by admins, GDPR friendly, better task management if someone off sick, better communication between students and staff, better quality, greater transparency.

Would like easier remuneration for assessors
Other comments from today

Noise of keyboards affecting others. One person going to do audio monitoring test for exam in early May.

Re animations, no one currently using 3D animations in assessment questions but keeping an eye on authoring. Can do animated gifs (e.g.molecular binding for biomed) in Wiseflow. In Denmark, tried using chemical keyboard but no animations as yet. We discussed possibility of filming closeup of lecturer drawing during a lecture and using as video rather than asking them to learn an animation tool. They would also have a memory trigger if they attended or lecture captured – we don’t have video capture at the moment just audio & slides and not all lectures http://roehamptonlearning.com/eLearningServices/help-guides/recap.

Mixed exams with drawing section which could be scanned and handed in , Wiseflow can do but it is another manual task so takes longer or use webcam on exam computer to scan drawing.
